Superatoms Principles, Synthesis and Applications

Superatoms: Principles, Synthesis and Applicationsdeliversan insightful andexciting exploration of an emerging subfield in cluster science, superatomic clusters and cluster assembled materials.The bookpresentsdiscussions of the fundamentals of superatom chemistry and their application in catalysis, energy, materials science, and biomedical sciences.
Readers willdiscover the foundational significance ofsuperatomsin science andtechnology andlearn how they can serve as the building blocks of tailored materials, promising to usher in a new era in materials science.The book covers topics as variedas the thermal and thermoelectric properties of cluster-based materials and clusters for CO2activation and conversion,before concluding withan incisive discussion of trends and directions likely to dominate the subject of superatoms in the coming years.
Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of:
A thorough introduction tothe rational design of superatoms using electron-counting rules
Explorationsofsuperhalogens, endohedrally doped superatoms and assemblies, and magnetic superatoms
A practical discussion ofatomically precise synthesis of chemically modified superatoms
A concise treatment ofsuperatoms as the building blocks of 2D materials, as well as superatom-based ferroelectrics and cluster-based materials for energy harvesting and storage
Perfect foracademic researchers and industrial scientists working in cluster science, energy materials, thermoelectrics, 2D materials, and CO2conversion,Superatoms: Principles, Synthesisand Applicationswill also earn a place in the libraries ofinterested professionals in chemistry, physics, materials science, and nanoscience.
